Neamanson, I am in agreement with everything that you have written but would like to ask this.

Should people like Mbo be surprised that a band with that reputation attracts negative feedback from others, give them the rights to assume that all this negative feedback is attributably to people bieng old folkies who are too set in thier ways to consider other, particularly newer forms of music and to react to criticism of a band as a personal insult and suggest that the rest of us should "shut the hell up"?

That has been my only gripe in this thread.
